Darksiders: Wrath of War Releases Today

Time for a breath of fresh air, Vigil Games (Joe Madureira's Video Game Company) has released their first game to market. After 3 years of development Darksiders is officially out on store shelves today.

Being a Joe Madureira fan for so many years and witnessing his up and downs in the video game industry with games such as Dragonkind, Exarch, Dungeon Runners and Tabula Rasa it's nice to see him be successful with the release Darksiders. He's poured his heart into this game and has fulfilled his dream of creating a video game from concept to reality. I'm really excited to get my hands on a copy in the next few hours.

Do yourself as a Joe Madureira fan a favor by going out and buying Darksiders: Wrath of War today.

Art Advice 2.0 from Joe Madureira

Joe Madureira has continued voicing his art advice with details on what gear he uses, his influences, and skills needed for working in the game or comic industry. Art Advice 2.0 Now for the specific art questions I do get very often: 1-I use a technical pencil with HB lead 99% of the time. Staedler, Koo-in-oor, Prismacolor Turquoise, it’s all good. Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...

Joe Madureira Comic Collection Checklist

I found a neat comicbook community site called 'League of Comic Geeks' that's a great resource to organize your personal collection, manage your pull list of upcoming comics as well as track your reading list. I personally love the simple and clean design of the site and it has just the right amount of information for each book as well as all the covers/variant covers of issues. There's a feature called 'Community Lists' where you can post anything from story arc reading orders, to famous cover swipes over the years. I went ahead and made a Joe Madureira comic collection checklist that contains most of his works in comics! If it's something you're interested in you can check it out at League of Comic Geeks: Joe Madureira Comic Collection Checklist , and I will add it to my collection page on this site as well. Enjoy!
